An entry-level speaker cable that combines convenience and performance. The "figure of 8" construction allows it to be used in the most demanding placement situations. A real upgrade over bell-wire, this cable is ideal for use in all installations.

QED 42 Strand Speaker Cable features the following QED Technologies:

99.999% Oxygen Free Copper

Speaker cables have to carry a lot of current. If the electrical resistance of the cable is too large, part of the music signal will be lost,

causing a detrimental effect on the fidelity of the sound you hear. To stop this from happening

we make the resistance of our speaker cables as small as possible. We do this by using the largest practical cross-sectional area of copper within the size constraints of each cable. In order to squeeze the last drop of performance from the conductors we make sure that there are no impurities in the copper which would defeat the object of making them so large. That's why we use 99.999% oxygen free copper exclusively.

Airloc Technology

If a bare wire termination method is used the exposed copper quickly oxidizes increasing the resistance of the cable, which has a detrimental effect on the fidelity of the sound you hear. Available as an option, QED Airloc plugs eliminate this problem by preventing oxidization and providing a gold plated mating surface which remains low resistance for ever.
